How Does it Compare?

The paper brew filters for Technivorm models are simpler to use than gold filters with no rinsing or cleaning involved. However, paper filters are not as environmentally friendly as reusable filters.

Tips and Tricks

Try brewing with a gold filter and with paper filters. See which you like better. Many people find they have a taste preference!

We have used these daily for two years. They are thinner than the Melitta's and seem to have somewhat less paper-y taste as they come from the box.

That said, if you spent the money on a Technivorm, you really appreciate great coffee and probably won't mind adding an extra 15-20 seconds to your brewing routine. To eliminate all paper-y taste place the filter in the cone and rinse it with hot water once or twice, rinsing the entire filter before filling with grounds and brewing. If you have heated water to warm your thermos of coffee mugs use that, otherwise hot tap water works fine too.

This eliminates all paper taste from the filter and produces unadulterated pure coffee flavor, comparable to the best pour-over from your favorite coffee shop.

A 1:17 ratio (weight) of fresh roasted/ground coffee to water, regular cleaning of the cone, pot lid, carafes and thermoses with Cafiza, and a quarterly run of Grindz through our Baratza (with a manual cleaning once a year) keep our household coffee the best tasting brew we, and our guests, have ever tasted. Enjoy!

I would say similar to the Melitta, not more, not less. Even rinsing the filters while in the basket you will still get an ever so slight taste. I don't think that the amount reflects on the cup. That said, I am not naive to think that there isn't a difference between these filters (which I would recommend) vs a better filter. Because of these ease of cleanup, I stick with the paper filters. Hope you enjoy. Cheers!

In my opinion, the Technivorm Paper Filters are much more superior than the Melitta filters. I've used Melitta filters in the past but switched over to Technivorm Filters because you will not notice any paper taste as compared to the Melitta's. Don't get me wrong, the Melitta's are a good filter but once you try the Technivorms, you will not try another filter brand.

I have been using technivorum paper filters for 2 1/2 years. I have not noticed a "paper" taste. It seems logical that the paper would absorb some of the oils. However, the technivorum drip coffee maker and paper filters make a great pot of coffee.

I found these filters to be all right but nothing special. I am not familiar with the problem you have had with Melita filters so this answer may not help you. I bought them 2 years ago and have neither used them nor purchased them again since.

Best Answer:Bleach (Chlorine) is not used in modern coffee filter manufacturing. Filters are whitened by use of oxygen cleansing. This also helps dispel the paper flavor you get when using 'natural' brown filters. If you don't like cardboard favored coffee, use oxygenated white filters with confidence.

They don't have bleach in them , they are bleached to their white color (think of why you bleach gym socks). Standard filters are a 'natural' light tan. As to the advantages of tan versus bleached white filters, I don't think there are any other than aesthetics.

Reviews

Technivorm's filters lend a new meaning to "Paper thin." Being thinner, they absorb less of the coffee flavor, hence, it ends up in the cup! (Posted on 8/21/2013)

I have found these to be the best coffee filters available. I use them with my Technivorm Moccamaster for a great cup of coffee. There is virtually no paper taste. Much better than all other filters. (Posted on 8/5/2013)

The filters produce a great cup of coffee. Great taste and easy to remove when you are done brewing. Why mess with success? You buy good coffee, why not buy great filters? The OEM of Technivorm, too nerdy? (Posted on 7/23/2013)

They are very thin. They allow the flavor to get through without imparting any of their own. (Posted on 6/11/2013)
